A bank manager and two accomplices were detained by the Lucknow cyber department for creating fictitious accounts that were utilized in a $6 crore cybercrime.
Three people, including a deputy branch manager of a private bank, have been detained by the Lucknow Cyber Cell and Cyber Police Station on suspicion of aiding phony companies and fictitious bank accounts used in extensive cybercrime activities.
It was discovered that Uttam Vishwas, the accused branch manager, had opened multiple current accounts for fictitious businesses that were subsequently utilized to transfer money obtained through cybercrime. Umakant Verma and Rajiv Vishwas, two of his friends, were in charge of fabricating paperwork and moving money obtained through unlawful means into these accounts.
The investigation found that the accused opened accounts through which at least seven states, including Uttar Pradesh, received revenues from cyber fraud. According to preliminary research, three of these accounts received a transfer of almost 6 crore. In order to enable the illicit transactions, it is also thought that the defendants registered ten current accounts using fictitious company names.
The investigation also showed that these accounts were used to transfer money from over 40 cyber fraud instances that were reported in a number of states, including Bihar, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana.
